Reading the tagged book reminded me that I never finished tracking last year‘s series progress.
TOP ROW: continuation of series I‘m in the middle of (the real goal)
MIDDLE ROW: series started and finished
BOTTOM ROW: new series started
#SeriesLove2024.
Hope to do better with series I‘m in the middle of this year.
pickAn old friend turns up on the Ducote sisters' doorstep, convinced her family are trying to kill her. Unfortunately, the family soon figures out where she's gone and follow, straining the sisters' hospitality to its limits, and that's before the deaths start.
First in a spin-off series. I could definitely have done with a family tree to keep Rosabelle's family straight in my mind.
so-soI picked this book for complete escapism and easy reading, and it did deliver that. However the story line felt forced (really? Your sorority sister you haven‘t seen in 40 years shows up with her entire extended family and you just let them stay?) and the ending was kind of bonkers. Can‘t give it a pick, but also will probably read more of the series next time I‘m in a similar mood.
pickA beauty pageant asks for the bakery to make cupcakes for the pageant, and once again Mel and Angie are involved in a murder investigation. This one was better than some of the previous in the series, and I‘m always interested in the cupcakes (but not some of the concoctions created by the pageant participants…yuck).
Mel also has a pretty big life decision to make in this one.
Good listen! #LitsyAtoZ #LetterS #52BookClub25 #APunInTheTitle
I enjoy these books more when George isn't in them. The quasi sort-of budding romance aspect feels too forced & not at all like Jessica to me.
This one's a January Book Bingo selection as well as part of a series (in fact, all the books I've read so far this month have been from different series ... never you mind how many are new series started lol).

Thank you, @CSeydel for this #WorstRead 2024 #BookBracket.
This book just wasn‘t for me and I LOVE cozy mysteries. I didn‘t like any of the characters and I just didn‘t care for the story.
pickWhen a magazine photo shoot goes wrong, Angie and Mel are forced to bake cupcakes with the magazine staff. There‘s a lot of drama in this one, and it‘s not just the murder! Good listen and story, though I‘m now a bit exasperated with Mel. 😂
